Bankruptcy in Maine

My practice serves Maine and Massachusetts consumers and businesses as they make important decisions about their bad debt, credit default, foreclosures and more. Together, we can explore your legal solutions to debt, and if beneficial, work through the bankruptcy process.  I am the only certified Consumer Bankruptcy Law attorney in the state of Maine.

Tough economic times have affected many individuals, families and businesses in our great state of Maine. The general economic downturn is certainly out of our hands, and as a result many people may now find themselves with a crushing debt burden.

I have 20 years of experience as a bankruptcy attorney in Southern Maine. Bankruptcy law is influenced by details at state level, and my staff and I take pride in staying ahead of ever-changing Maine law, bankruptcy law, and rules. Our knowledge and experience give us the flexibility to help you find the best solution for your situation.

Not only have I assisted individuals and businesses filing bankruptcy, but I have also worked with creditors throughout Maine. This experience on both sides of bankruptcy litigation has proven invaluable to helping Maine's debtors. I strive to provide compassionate and accurate counsel so that everyone attains the financial freedom that is so important to success and happiness.

If you're from Southern Maine or Maine and seek an attorney who is intimately familiar with our bankruptcy procedures, please schedule an appointment and we will find your solution.

Maine's Chapter 13 Trustee, Peter Fessenden, Responds to BAPCPA

Few individuals in Maine understand the impact of the Bankruptcy Abuse Protection and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) better than Peter Fessenden. As the Chapter 13 Trustee of Maine, Mr. Fessenden oversees and administers the repayment plans of debtors throughout the state.

The following was presented to attorneys in September, 2005, as part of a series of seminars on the revised bankruptcy laws.

• Presentation: "Chapter 13 After BAPCPA"

Mr. Fessenden has allowed us to use some of his materials on our website for educational purposes only. He does not endorse my services in particular or any debt relief solution in general.

He is a frequent speaker at Maine State Bar Association seminars, American Bankruptcy Institute seminars, and the National Association of Chapter 13 Trustees’ conferences. He also occasionally teaches bankruptcy courses at the University of Maine Law School. Mr. Fessenden is widely respected in the consumer bankruptcy filed in Maine and throughout the country.
